I've posted in the general forum quite a bit about my now little collection I'm proud of. I figured I'd start a post here that I figure I can continually update as new additions enter into my collection. Both for others to see and enjoy (hopefully) but also to serve as an online reference for myself. That being said, here's the first installation.

Wooah Dude, that's a serious array of inks. Those two Lamy's look way cool: which type are they? Looks like you sold off some Pel's too.

Blessings,
Dave

Here's my current collection:

Dave,

Yeah it is. Ha. Actually I'll be adding 7-8 more in the next week or so. The lamy's are Lamy Studios.

My pen update - Pen Box #2:

Pen Box #1:

Didn't notice the sun shining on those RHR's! Ahhhh...Oxidation!

Very nice, Pep. That Sheaffer collection is growing.

Dave

Thanks, Dave.
Yes I count 11 Sheaffers and 9 Watermans.

stunning pen collections

Well here's my "collection."

A: Pelikan M620 Shanghai. B: Pilot 78G. C: Reform Skywalker demonstrator.

(In case anyone's been following, I threw away the useless Jinhao and destroyed the useful one by trying to flex it.)

Sheaffer 1000 LIfetime, Brown Parker 50 Falcon, Burgundy Eversharp Skyline, Lamy Pearl White Studio, Lamy Blue Custom Studio, Krone Fiction Picante, Krone Think Tigre, Parker Vacumatic.

Ink collection grew as well, didn't have time to take a picture though!

Everyone else's collections are looking good as well!!

A picture of my Sheaffer Flattop Ringtops:

Hmm... wouldn't a black one have looked nice in there?

Dave

Here ya go, Dave. The black one isn't perfect, I'm still looking for a better one.

They all look like beauties to me.

Dave

Thanks.
The cap band on the black one is dented; someone tried to "swage" it.

Collection update!

Penguin, how do you like your Krone Fiction?
I am lusting for the "Bondi" colour!

It was a nice pen. I ended up selling it a while back. I need to update soon with some new pictures!

Why did you sell? Any problems or discomfort with it?

i can not believe it . how many pens you have in total... you must have hundreds of them... i worship you.

Keep in mind those picutres each represent my entire collection at one time, not a continuation of them. As for hundreds...nowhere near it, I currently have 5, i paired down big time. I'll probably grow the collection back up to 8 in the near future, finances are taking a hit though!

Thanks for the comment though!

-penguin

Time to finally add an update!


Burgundy Eversharp Skyline, Burgundy Eversharp Symphony 703, Forest Green Eversharp Symphony 703, Forest Green Aero Parker "51", Emerald Green Parker Vacumatic Long, Fischer Space Pen, Pan Piston Filling Ballpoint, Retro 51 Rollerball

I'll probably be adding 3 more in the future to round the collection back out 8 fountain pens. Right now I know an old style knurled Rotring 600 is on the list. Probably two other vintage, just not sure yet. I really like the Parker 75 Cisele, so maybe one of those. Maybe an oversize balance, who knows, the possibilities are endless.

-penguin

I do like to see the decided turn to vintage!

Steve

Thanks. I have decided I really enjoy something about a vintage pen that writes beautifully!

-penguin

You seem to have a lot of flow in your collection. The Vac is very cute and the Falcon...owww.
